Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

on the more technical side, for x86, chromebooks have a special UEFI firmware that only makes it possible to boot chromeos, and so the first step is to replace it with the firmware distributed by MrChromebox, which makes it work similarly to a regular laptop.
but, MrChromebox does not have firmware for ARM chromebooks, so replacing the OS may not be that “easy” in your case. if you don’t find a way, it’s best to treat it as an untrusted device, and follow what I have written in my other comment
if nothing else, if you create a wifi network with a separate VLAN and no internet access, you could use it for Grocy in the kitchen, or for HomeAssistant/openHAB, as a remote controller for Jellyfin or Kodi, or something like that. basically as a touch screen for some internal service.
Strictly with no internet access, though. Make sure to verify it. Maybe also install an app, or write a script that periodically checks this and notifies you if this has changed, not too frequently though to not drain the battery significantly.
The Nock Nock app from F-droid may be good for this with the JavaScript evaluation mode and a simple condition
a “reverse bribe”, as is typical of nintendo
actually its not perfect with comments either. I keep 4 notifications in my inbox unread in case I could find out where I got them, 2 of which is inaccessible because they themselves were deleted and I can’t go back to see what was its parent thread
D-Bus is a system service that is used by processes to communicate with others. It’s commonly used, but as users we rarely see anything of it. It’s usage for programmers and sysadmins is/can be quite complicated. It looks they want to add a new simpler one. Haven’t heard of varlink before, though
Something I’ve learned is that it will use a lot of CPU even if the video is paused.
this has been my experience with it on windows too, so it must be a core VLC thing. if it bothers you, I recommend you to try out MPV. been using it for more than a year, would never go back. If you need more than the on screen controller and key combos, there are quite a few proper GUI players being built on MPV.
if you come from Windows, liked the 10 start menu, and you want to use KDE, there’s a pretty similar launcher you can use: https://store.kde.org/p/2142716
it does not have collapsible groups and live tiles, but otherwise it’s pretty good I think
or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you
well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.
probably this is it’s manifestation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4204
I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago
I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too
thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!
I thought the delayed shutdown was intentional to not let the vibration of the disks increase too much
That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.
nobody wants to learn Swedish here. they want to be understood in a community that knows both Swedish and Norwegian, and if Norwegian is easier, they can learn just that
If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then
then it wouldn’t be Uncomplicated anymore
who speaks about localhost? out of 21 active ports on my machine, only 3 is only listening on localhost. dhclient, avahi-daemon, syncthing, kdeconnect… cups-browsed did not listen only on localhost either
and over public DHT. we can share magnet links in this community, and why keep it to us only? if we keep it public, the survivability of torrents can even improve
run sudo ss -tulpn
, and have a look at the processes and their privileges listening for incoming connections. If one of them has a vulnerability, through which a third party can make that software do things it was not intended for… that’s pretty bad.
This can most easily happen with software whose developers are underresouced/careless/stubborn.
A recent case of that happening: https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/
Tl;Dr, remote code execution vulnerability in software that most often runs as root, automatically.
